The educational moor trail in Piller Moor follows a three-kilometre circular route with seven stops. They cover the formation of moors, moorland vegetation and peat extraction. This means that a walk takes in both the natural development of the moor and its former use.
Moorland and Kaunergrat Nature Park
Pillermoor is a mountain pine high moor and has been designated a natural monument since 1970. Visitors interested in the landscape can compare the trail’s topics with a viewpoint: the moor tower offers a view of the mountain pine high moor. The tower is eleven metres high, offering a different perspective from the stops along the circular trail: here, the focus is on the view of the moor; there, on its formation, vegetation and use.
At Gachenblick in Fliess, the Kaunergrat Nature Park House serves as an information and service centre for visitors to the region interested in nature and culture. The building houses a multimedia exhibition about the nature park’s special features. Its content may change over time. Next to the nature park house is the Nature and Culture Panorama Gacher Blick viewing platform, which is accessible to people with disabilities.
The Fließer Sonnenhänge are also part of the nature theme: this nature reserve is located in the municipality of Fließ. It was designated because of the exceptional diversity of its flora and fauna, as well as the presence of rare and endangered species. The natural attractions therefore range from moorland habitats to a protected area designated on account of its biodiversity.
Archaeological finds and village history
The FlieĂź Archaeological Museum presents finds discovered in FlieĂź from the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman period. One precisely quantified group of finds is the Hallstatt-period bronze hoard from FlieĂź: it comprises 386 objects from the 7th and 6th centuries BC. This dating shows just how far back the local finds date.
The Via Claudia Augusta Documentation Centre displays a copy of the Tabula Peutingeriana, as well as finds made along the ancient Roman road in what is now Tyrol. Traces of Roman carts are visible at the FlieĂźer Platte. The Old Widum in FlieĂź offers another facet of local history: it is a listed building, regarded as the oldest house in the village, and was first mentioned in a document in 1360. The museum, artefacts, visible cart tracks and historic building each offer a distinct focus for a culturally oriented stay.
Hiking trails, winter and choosing a hotel
The Fließ–Puschlin–Kaunergrat Nature Park House–Fließ hike is a circular route from Fließ via Puschlin to the nature park house and back. A section of the Via Claudia Augusta is a separate route and can be walked between Landeck and Fließ. Bus route 240 runs from Landeck-Zams station to Fließ; check the timetable before travelling.
In winter, the Venet family ski area can be reached from FlieĂź via the Venet-SĂĽd chairlift. The lift operates seasonally, so it is worth checking the operating hours before your trip. This lets you plan your trip around the topics that interest you most, without having to fit every activity into the same day. Choose a hotel to suit your plans, and check the details listed for each specific accommodation.
